Research finds AI users scarily willing to “surrender” their cognition to LLMs “Lowering the threshold for scrutiny” Overall, across 1,372 participants and over 9,500 individual trials, the researchers found subjects were willing to accept faulty AI reasoning a whopping 73.2 percent of the time, while only overruling it 19.7 percent of the time. The researchers say this “demonstrate[s] that people readily incorporate AI-generated outputs into their decision-making processes, often with minimal friction or skepticism.” In general, “fluent, confident outputs as epistemically authoritative, lowering the threshold for scrutiny and attenuating the meta-cognitive signals that would ordinarily route a response to deliberation,” they write. https://copyinvisible.com/research-finds-ai-users-scarily-willing-to-surrender-their-cognition-to-llms/
